That are german fuze pockets stil with there fuzes in there.
Explosive filling can be burnt quite safely once removed fromthe Bomb/Projectile, ROF Glascoed used to do this all the time.
Interesting thread. Identification can't have been simple. There was a similar place in UK that was decommissioned a little over 25 years ago, somewhere near where the M25 (London orbital motorway) now is. Thanks for sharing it with us.
